Who's a Clever Boy Then ?

I'm taking the opportunity of having sole access to the ManCave (whilst Paul's computer is packed up for his impending removal) to blog Paul's recent award of the Distinguished Service Medal, the second highest award for leadership in operational service in Australia. I won't embarrass Paul too much but will say the citation included reference to his skilful diplomacy during his command of his Frigate on recent anti-piracy operations. You can find his full citation with a bit of Google fu....Congrats mate, its a mighty fine addition to the bling!

I love it when friends and family hijack the blogs of their loved ones to tell of the excellent work that they are to modest to talk about. Well done Paul, a very high honour and obviously well deserved.

Thank you all for you very kind words, I was very honored and humbled to receive it.Of course, behind an award like this is a high performing team and I think this award reflects the efforts of the whole crew in some very challenging circumstances.
